Adara sat at the bar deep in thought. She had only been on earth for two days, but she was sick of it. She hadn't done anything to truly deserve being banished. Technically she wasn't banished from the underworld, but she couldn't return home after failing her mission. She didn't want to face the disappointment on her father's face.

She had finally made it to the top of Mt. Olympus. She was tired and hungry. Her father, Pluto, had sent her up to reason with Zeus. She entered the gates. She looked around until she spotted her Uncle.
"Excuse me, Uncle, sir," she had said in a soft timid voice, "My father sent me to talk to you." She bowed before him.
"Well, what's your name and who's your father?" Zeus said, his voice rich and booming.
"My name is Adara, sir,and My father is Pluto. At the mention of her father, the entire mountain went quite. Zeus warm expression vanished. Zeus's hands wrapped around her throat.
"It was a stupid mistake to come here, stupid wretch," he snarled, his face inches from her's,"I'll kill you so violently and make you suffer so much you'll be begging for mercy within minutes." The hate and pure outrage on his face was undeniable. Just then Demeter, Adara's grandmother, stepped in.
"Do not harm this child, Zeus. She has done nothing wrong," she spoke in a sunny voice.
"You, Adara, are banished from Mt. Olympus. From today, you have exactly one year to find true love or you willbe sent to suffer in the underworld for all of eternity." With that, he threw her off the mountain.


She took another drink of whiskey. It burned her throat, but helped numb her mind. She was glaring at one of the deities that was flirting with an ugly, dirty old man. She went to take another drink, but her glass was empty.
"I would like another whiskey sour," she ordered with annoyance. At home, the moment the glass was empty, the would be another glass there.

Akira: -thrust from the World he knew So well. He falls. from far above the clods. his one wing Violently Flapping to try and balance him and slow his fall. As he hits the middle of a busy street. Dust rising up as the pavement cracks beneath him. Creating a small crater in the pavement. small blasts of purple lightning shooting out from his body hitting every thing around him. He slowly Raises to his feet to all watching he is just a black silhouette with golden eyes glowing. As his mighty wings unfolds and expands the dust is blown away revealing his Dark and Vicious Visage. He walks forth. Blasting a Human woman in the chest with a Lightning bolt- "That in-insufferable Man dares to cast me from my home. I shall kill him slowly. and Aphrodite for her lies" -He Roars as he walks into a Bar- "Give me a Whiskey Sour" -He orders as he sits down. As his Drink is Served he reaches for it. a Woman also doing the same. He growls but after looking upon her he Sighs- "you take the damned thing" -he says as he looks at the bar keep-

"Thanks and you growling wasn't that scary," she said her face was still scowling. She took the drink and took a hesitant sip.
"I'm Adara," she said and held her hand out. She took another drink. She studied the figure who had sat down next to her. He seemed just as pissed off. I can't believe he threatened to make me suffer. I am the goddess of suffering. Adara hadn't realized it, but she had broken the cup in her hand. Whiskey was dripping and landing on her prized leather, studded boots.
"Screw you, Zeus," she muttered under her breath. When ever anything went wrong, she had taken up blaming Zeus for all of it. The bartender handed her a napkin and she wiped the whiskey off. Grinding her teeth, she got up. She headed towards the door.

Akira: "It wasn't meant to be Scary. if i wanted to Scare you. I would kill you" -He says and Shakes her hand- "Im Akira" -He says and watches her Crush the Glass. he used his wing to stop most of the Whiskey from soiling her boots. He licks the Whisky off his wing while she is mumbling to herself. and When the bartender gives her a Napkin but Still hasn't gotten his Drink. He growls and Blasts him Close Range in the Face with Lightning. melting his face. Then he fallows Adara out-

She had seen the lightning and smelled the burning flesh. She rolled her eyes. Awww, Poor prince. Did daddykins banish you too? She stopped and turn to him.
"Why are you following me?" she said, her pale blonde hair spilled down her back as she let it down. She wasn't amused and he most definately wasn't scary. She was the Daughter of the King of Hell. She was responsible for all the suffering in the world. I wonder if Dad is worried about me. A large demon appeared in front of her. The mortals couldn't see them unless the demon wanted them to.
"Princess," he spoke, "Your father is worried about you." She rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Tell my father that I am alright. Tell him that he best wage war on Olympus as hard as he can," she said, the authority clear in her voice, "Tell him that we will bring Olympus down in a storm of fire and ash." The demon examined her.
"As you wish, Princess." He vanished. She turned on her heel and continued walking away.

{How is that Supposed to show them as best friends?. He Would realistically kill her right now. i'll have to break Character}

Akira: -Shakes his head slightly- "She is a waist of my time. Just like the rest of the creatures around here" -He mumbles as he walks the other direction. Looking around at the worthless humans as he walks-

"No. I'm not. Because unlike all these 'creatures', I know what it feels to be cast off the mountain by the good merciful god, Zeus." She spat the last four words.
"You need me, Akira. I am the key to Zeus's demise. When my daddy finds out that your daddy banished me, Olympus will fall... With a big crash. Don't walk away," her voice had turned soft and gentle. She was also desperate for a friend.

Akira: -Cracks his neck- "Do not!!. Call that worthless SCUM My father. The only usefulness he ever had to me. was introducing me to the best lay of my life. and calling it my mother hoping I wouldn't touch. Zeus is worthless and will die by my hand" -He roars as the purple lightning starts Sparking and Dancing through his whole right arm. His ear twitches at the sudden change in Tone on the girl. and he looks at her- "Im far from needing you, and Im long past tired of you saying you dont fear me. I dident say i wanted you to. But i'll stay by your side. and at least try being friendly. for now" -He says in an Gentle voice by the end of the sentences. And smiles warmly at her-

She brushed a spark off her shoulder with a bored look. His sparky light show was boring her.
"Yeah. Yeah, we both know Zeus is a piece of crap that WILL die," he tone was monotone again. She only expressed emotion when needed.
"Do you have a place to stay?" she asked. She had a hotel room at the nicest hotel in town.
"I have a room at Thánatos," she explained further, "I have unlimted acess to the mini bar. You free to join me if you want." She winked. So far, the only way to deal with being banished was to get good and drunk. She headed off in that direction with the image of a whiskey sour in her mind.

Anthea sat on the beach, her knees up against her chest. She watched the calm ocean gently lap up against the sand softly. Each time the waves softly crashed on the sand, the water seemed to get closer and closer to her feet. She wasn't sure how long she just sat there- at least half an hour. Looking up, she stared out at the seemingly endless beach, with only a few houses in the distance. With a deep sigh, Thea got up and went to a small one-horse shed where her spotted horse Printer was kept. Printer had his whole face inside his hay, happily munching. Once he heard Thea come in, he looked up and stretch his head out so his face was inches from hers. Smiling, she hugged his neck softly and pressed her cheek against his soft coat. He was the closest thing she had to a friend, excluding her parents. There weren't any kids around her age where she lived and she wasn't allowed to leave her family's property. She was told there wasn't any need to. They had everything they needed right where they were. But to say Anthea was lonely would be an extreme understatement.

Swiftly jumping out the window of her room, Pandora ran like a bat out of hell into the surrounding forest that connected the castle and the nearby town. She knew it wouldn't take long to get to town but she still ran as fast as she could. She needed to get as much distance in between her and her home. 'Life in luxury is best my ass! I hate it! But soon it wont matter 'cuz this time I'm gonna be free!' Pandora smirked at the thought as she pushed herself to run faster. After about 15 minutes of running, Pandora had made it to town. Before going out into the open she pulled her cloak in tighter and soon became just another cloak in the crowd. 'Some food, a two canteens of water, and I'm outta here...Father more than likely knows of my absence by now...The guards should be coming soon' Just as Pandora was purchasing her last canteen of water, she saw two guards a few stands over show her picture to different vendor owners. Moving as quickly, yet as least suspiciously as possible, Pandora cut her way through the crowd, trying to get to the far forest. Glancing quickly behind her, she saw the man who had sold the canteens of water, point directly at her. The guards looks to where the man pointed and immediately jumped into action when they saw their princess trying to get away. 'Crap!' Pandora thought as her quick pace turned into an all out run. 'Just keep running, don't look back! Just keep running, don't look back!' she chanted in her head, but of course she had to look back. Right at the moment she turned to see how far behind her pursuers were, Pandora tripped over a pebble and landed face first onto the ground.

When she looked up to meet her doom, four guards had already surrounded her. Not wanting the town people to see their princess in such a mess, the guards acted as if she we a common criminal. Two of them roughly grabbed her by the arms while the other two tried to get the forming crowd to disperse. "Let go of me you thugs! I didn't do anything wrong any you know it! Let go now!" Pandora screamed as she flailed her arms and legs. She tried to fight them off and was getting angered that the other two guards were trying to disperse the forming crowd, but what angered her more was that nobody did a thing to help her. They just stared, some in amusement, some in disgust, others with just blank stares. Looking around at a last attempt to get free she saw a strong looking man and a beautiful woman pass by."Please! Help me! I didn't do anything! I have been framed!" Deciding to play the part of a criminal, Pandora begged and pleaded, hoping she these people would help her.

Akira: "Well no I've No place to stay yet. But i was going to just Kill a whole Family and take that. your idea works too" -He says fallowing her-

Ari stood on the quiet, sandy beach, staring at the waves, more upset than pissed over everything that had happened. He could of course, go out on the water, but he had no wish to use the abilities that been granted to him. Besides, on a calm beach like this, hearing the crash of the waves against the sand, the cold tingle of water against his feet, that alone was enough to soothe him.

Okay, so what if he wasn't Zeus' number one fan? Hell, he was pretty sure no one on Olympus was. He really shouldn't get mad, just if another God called him a crusty old hermit, he shouldn't throw him out... well, so what if he fixed the world cup? Hermes and Apollo ALWAYS did that, and he never cared. Then that mess with Athena... entirely not his fault. She probably planned this... but then again, it was Zeus that ordered him out... witch, he supposed was better than death.

With an angry howl, He crushed a nearby cargo ship, and began walking along the shoreline. Then there was that whole crap about finding someone to love him... he could go to hades for all he cared. He simply woud not play with another's emotions like that. He wasn't that desperate. If he met someone, fine, but he was not Aphrodite. He wouldn't make someone love him.

In the distance were some houses, but Ari wasn't sure if he should go up there. After deliberation, he walked over there. He felt horses nearby, and he supposed it was natrual. Horses were created from sea foam, after all, so it made perfect sense. He decided, at the very least, he would say hello. Maybe the horse would reconize the son of it's ultimate master.

He looked around, and noticed a spotted horse, with a girl hugging him around the neck. "Beautiful horse you have there." He said, hanging in the door way. He didn't want to frighten her by moving any closer. Indeed, that would be bad, scaring the first girl he had spoken too.

Anthea smiled and kissed Printer's nose softly when she heard someone speak from behind her. A tiny, soft yelp of surprise escaped her and she wired around. To say she was surprised would be downplaying her reaction. Nobody her age came to her family's home. And just to make it even more strange, he had blue hair. But she kind of liked it. It reminded her of the ocean. "um. . . thanks? This is Printer." Printer stepped out of his stall and looked over Ari before licking his whole face and making Thea burst out in laughter "oh my god. . .hahahahaha!!!! I'm. . i'm so sorry!!!!" She tried to sound apologetic, and she really was sorry, but her laughter made that a little hard. "here." She handed him a cloth that she kept around for when Printer did that to her. Printer tilted his head to the side adorably, not understanding what he did wrong. "I'm Anthea. And i'm really sorry about Printer, sometimes he's a little too affectionate. He does that to me all the time. And look on the bright side- he likes you!" She gave him a bright smile that lit up her features.

"Yeah, most horses do." HE said, accepting the cloth. He wasn't angry at all. In fact, he was laughing as well. He wiped his face off. noticing the rag was pretty worn."I don't think you want this back." HE said, looking at it, "I'll buy you a new one, promise." He said to her,

He turned to the horse, and petted his side, "Printer, eh? Well, It's nice to meet you too!" He laughed, gently stoking his mane, and the horse seemed to nod. "I'm not mad, really. It's a lovely horse. Printer suits it perfectly."

HE turned to Anthea noticing her smile. IT seemed as if she didn't do that often, and felt warm, seeing it.

I'm Ari, and it's nice to meet you." He said, "I'm just passing through, when I saw you and this horse, I was just at the beach alittle while. Quite a nice place around here, I would think... do you know if they're renting, or selling a house around here?" He said honestly. The beaches here WERE lovely, and it seemed like a quiet place. A perfect way to spend his last year alive. Like money was any issue to a god.... silly mortals...

Anthea seemed taken aback when he said he would buy her a new cloth. "Why would you do that? And my family owns this whole beach. They've owned it long before even my parents were born. I'm not allowed to leave." For a second she looked down, seeming lonely before looked at Printer, who seemed thrilled with all the attention he was getting.

"I was just going to bring Printer for a ride down the beach. If you wanted, you could take our workhorse, Poseidon. Careful though- he might try to buck you off and step on your head if your to hard on him. But if your too soft, he'll take advantage of you." She'd had her fair share of being bucked off and kicked by the horse, but they got along pretty well.

A chance to ride a horse named after daddy dearest? The oppurtunity simply could not be missed. "Sounds like a plan to me." Ari said, petting the horse, then saddled him. "Hey, what's up Poseidon? I'm your names sake son. Nice to meet you." He thought to the horse, and got on, stroking his mane. "He seems nice enough."

"...it's tough, not being able to do what you want because of your parents." He symphathized, "MY parents were like that as well. My parents, and a very annoying uncle." He said, unsure of why he said that. "But yeah, I hear you... but still, the whole beach? That's pretty amazing, even if it comes with such tight strings... I'm not going to get in trouble for walking along it, am I?" He asked. If he would, then he should probably go find another place... and or, send a squid in her parent's house before he did.

No one could possibly own an entire beach without it being allowed to be used. That's what his father always said, and no one dares argue with him.

He nodded again, stroking the horses mane, "And I just figured you would want a new cloth soon, is all." He said,

Anthea smiled at him. "Of course we'll get yelled at. But they'll have to catch us first!"" She laughed, letting her long dark hair down as she hopped up on Printer, easing him into a gallop as she smiled and closed her eyes. For once, she felt free from the tight leash she was kept on. Thea rode bareback, mostly because she felt more connected to her horse when she did. She know that that her family would be pissed, but for now she was happier then she had been in a long, long time. This was Anthea's way of telling them that they couldn't control her.

Poseidon was surprisingly interested in Ari. He was a gorgeous horse, with jet black fur and bright bright blue eyes. When Printer galloped out of the barn, he snorted and stopped one hoof. Compaired to Printer, he was pretty big and clearly had a lot of power.

So, this girl has a rebellious streak, as well? Ari thought that was pretty cool, and he joined her as he pressed Poseidon, testing the powerful horses limits. "So, what do you do around here?" He asked, "Besides rebelling against your parents, and hanging out at the beach?" He joked. He WAS alittle upset about the possibilty of trouble but, for now, he would deasl with it. And Anthea was right... they'd have to catch them, first."

The beach seemed to welcome them back with a gentle, carressing breeze, witch Ari embraced fully, although he half hated it. The breeze brought prayers to the gods, asking for random stuff, though he did his best to ignore it, since none of them were adressed to him. He shook out of it, concentrating on the feeling of it.

"I like the view from here." He said, staring at the ocean. "I've always loved the beach. Besides the feeling of calmness it gives, it's like a bridge between 2 worlds." Ari said, "One second, we're in this world. Step into the water, and it's a completly different feeling, you know? "He asked, hoping he wasn't ranting.

"It would be greatly appreciated if you could keep the human killing to a minimum. My dad is stressed out enough with the war on Olympus. He's all by himself down there," her voice was soft and gentle again. They had reached the hotel. The doorman greeted them. Adara felt bad, he was going to die in his sleep tonight. She took the elevator up to the top level. She had Pluto's penthouse suit.
"There is only one bed, but I don't mind sharing." She made her way to the mini bar. She pulled out a large bottle of whiskey. She took a large drink before offering the bottle to Akira. Adara only had the room because her dad owned the hotel. He had opened the hotel after she was born.

Akira: -Thinks about the Sharing a bed for a moment. though showing no blush or Emotion at all about it. Then takes the Whiskey gently. Taking a drink and handing it back. his Mind Racing as his wing wraps around him like a feathered cloak-

Anthea smiled a little while she matched Poseidon's stride. "I'm not able to do much. I train horses, swim, walk on the beach. Normally I play good little girl. I never get to see people over the age of three and under the age of forty". She leaned forward, urging Printer to go just a little faster then him.

Her parents weren't very hard on her but her father did what the rest of the family would do. And in this case, she knew it would mean big time punishment. But really, what did she have to lose?

"I DO feel sorry for you, just a little." Ari said, pressing Poseidon to match Printer. "Still, being able to train horses is a nice skill to have. Hey, it takes brains to hang out at the beach, right?" He said, only half joking. "But, I understand, if only a little. So, there are no other people our age? That must get tough. No friends your age to speak with.. I feel for you, I truly do."

He did feel a little sad, seeing a girl like this cooped up. A girl like her should be free to do whatever you want. "You should be able to do whatever you want, if you ask me. I couldn't live too happily under those circumstances. Sorry for asking, but ARE you happy? I mean, really, don't you wish to go to the outside world? Find some friends, maybe spend the night at a friend's house?"

Adara took the bottle back and took another drink.
"Or you can sleep on the couch... It doesn't matter to me," she said, rolling her eyes. She handed the bottle back to him. She went back over to the mini bar and grabbed a bottle of scotch and the room service menu.
She sat down on the bed after kicking her boots off. She opened the scotch and the menu.
"D'you want anything to eat?" she asked after she took a drink of the scotch.

Akira: "Neh i aint Hungry. and as for bed or Couch i dont care. i would prefer bed weither your in it or nor is your Choice" -he says Looking at the Whiskey but not taking another sip at the moment-
